The Bike Shop / Re: Remember how a few arm-chair engineers called this out? Well who'd a thunk it..

pretty tacky to be chatting shit about other companies...
nobody is a genius like you G

1. Our return rate on cranks was never higher than 10% at the very most. The suggestion that ALL the first gen Wombolts were "made wrong" is ridiculous, there are still first gen cranks out there being used now and we will STILL warranty them if they ever do break because that's what "lifetime" warranty means.

2. We sell/sold a shit-ton of cranks, but have never needed to do a product recall.

My main reason for making this thread was to inform any owners of these cranks that they were being recalled by the manufacturer. And given that even the manufacturer isnt trying to defend the design it seems weird anyone on here unrelated to them would really be that arsed about trying to defend it...

some people hate em. one shop my mate was trying to get some wedges from said they wouldnt stock them and they hated them and they were the worst cranks ever. they often post about how amazing it is every time they build a wheel with a profile hub though.

my eclats have lasted ages, ill probs grind through the pedal boss before i snap them i reckon. will replace them with odysseys when they do die though, only reason i got them was cos they were dirt cheap and basically brand new

Oh, so they are idiots then.  That explains the unjustified hatred of a good crank.

shit breaks sometimes. everyone has a different experience with the parts they buy.
personally i hate the cranks and i also hate the ratchet, i probably had faulty parts or some shit.

womb/twomb/thunderbolts
anything colony
anything oil slick
tenderizers, only had grip on the first session, after that the pins would rip off
revenge/joytech shit hub i'm using right now
i'll think of more stuff

i had a set of twombolts with the odyssey bb and no matter what combo of spacers the arm would always come lose, i traded them for old 22mm specialized cranks and they were fucking dope. really similar to the animal cranks.

How can you hate the Odyssey cranks? Too easy to install? Too easy to remove? Not enough wobble? Do they not bite your ankles enough?
I'm honestly curious. I've got a pair on each of my bikes and love them.

Buyer pays shipping.

Suprised your bother isn't still on an Ezra.

I love how light the Ezra, Salt, Dartmoor coasters are, but I kind of miss the engagement feel of a screw type coaster.

No one sells the Ezra coaster anymore right?
I didnt consider one because iamHollywood is a douche
